Any games left this week that will determine the district champs. How about a playoff spot for # 2? I know of one.

These are a few I know of, if I’m wrong, please correct me…..

District Championships
Spring Lake Earth vs Kress
Whiteface vs O’Donnell

2nd place
McLean vs Follett
Rankin vs Garden City
Ira vs Hermleigh (if Hermleigh wins, it’s a 3 way tie for second between Highland as well)
 
I believe there are still some playoff implications in that Ira Vs. Hermleigh game if I’m not mistaken, I know if Ira wins then that’s that, but if Hermleigh wins I’m curious on how it plays out with the three way tie. Can someone clarify how it works now days….. in my opinion needs to be a coin flip like the old days! But I know it’s not.

Doesn’t each district decide how tie breakers work? I could be wrong but thought I read that somewhere.
 
Each district adopts a set of bi-laws that will govern their districts and the ties if that’s needed. These bi-laws are presented, discussed, and changed at the beginning of the two year district alignment.
Most of the districts that I know about are on a tie breaker points system. The teams that are in the tie, as is the case with (possible) Ira, Hermleigh, and Highland, have their points against each other calculated.
So if team A beats team B by 10 points then
Team A would be plus 10
And team B would be minus 10. You would keep the points total for all three teams and most points at the end wins. The part that gets tricky and is definitely up for debate, is that each district usually sets a cap on the points that are being added or subtracted. Some districts are 18 and some are 25 and each district sets this.
What that means is if team A beats team B by 45 points and the cap is 18.
Team A has 18 points
Team b has -18 points.
Next week team team a lost to team c by 10 points
Team a has 18-10 for 8 points
Team b still has -18 points
Team c has 10 points.

If team c beats team b obviously they are the winner. If team b beats team c by 45 points the totals are now
Team a has 8
Team b has 0
Team c has -8
and team a is the winner.

That is why the point system and max points are very important.

Thank you for that explanation, Coach.
 
I remember this in 2012 Zephyr, Santa Anna, and Rochelle finished tied for the 2 playoff spots. A 3 way coin flip makes Rochelle the odd man out.
Rochelle beat Santa Anna by 30 lost to Zephyr by 28
Santa Anna beat Zephyr by 20 lost to Rochelle by 30
Zephyr beat Rochelle by 28 lost to Sant Anna by 20

I think since they were all tied with 0 on the points system that is why the flipped a coin
and Santa Anna was 1st because beat Zephyr head to head
I am not sure
